Effectively deferred, since Guido decided we didn't need a PEP for the
__text_signature__ syntax in the inspect module:
>>> import inspect
>>> inspect.signature(ord)
<Signature (c, /)>
>>> ord.__text_signature__
'($module, c, /)'
(The motivation was to give Argument Clinic a way to communicate C
level signatures up to Python code)
A PEP for Python level positional-only argument syntax would be able
to rely on Signature.__repr__ and __text_signature__ as precedent for
using "/" to indicate that the preceding parameters are
positional-only, though.
Cheers,
Nick.
